Duty Calls
by Toni Becker and Brian Becker

They were high school sweethearts in Hometown, USA
David was a football star; Becky perfect in every way
Their love endured the college years, he proposed and she said yes
They walked out of that big brick church in a tux and wedding dress

Then the world turned a corner on a cold September morning
You see, David was a soldier…

Duty calls, I’m on my way
I’d stand between you and the enemy any day
Duty calls, I will defend
The honor of my nation, my family and friends…
Duty calls

This story is unfolding a thousand times a day
They may be different circumstances but the bottom line remains
They’re trading all their comfort for a bunker in the sand
Where they will risk their lives for the freedom of every man

Because the world turned a corner on a cold September morning
I hear the cry of a soldier…

Duty calls, I’m on my way
I’d stand between you and the enemy any day
Duty calls, I will defend
The honor of my nation, my family and friends…
Duty calls

My boots will fill the footsteps of the brave who’ve gone before
Their memory will remind me it’s a cause worth fighting for
